I am so pleased to be writing this letter today, to recap over 8 seasons of life and growth at Hartle-Gilman Gardens, as well as hartlegilmangardens.com on-line catalogue.

I look around and have seen many things that I would consider lovely.

One of the many marked celebrations this month is the 35th year anniversary of Hartle-Gilman Gardens. 1989 (March) Dean & Marsha Hartle and Robert Gilman visited the Secretary of State. With winds blowing of freshly fallen snow, covering the roadways, the three set out to registered what is Hartle-Gilman Gardens. Afterward visiting the capitol of Minnesota, ((Dean had paperwork that needed to be filed), He was the House Representative District 30A), they then concluded the day with a bottle of brut as the snowflakes blew in the winds. Celebrating the registration of Hartle-Gilman Gardens.

Though I have not been the sole owner of this Minnesota business, I remember when I reached the crossroad of having a choice to either resurrect the name, exhume what little stock left, and proclaimed ownership of what I found out later of my ‘oldie but goodie’ historic company from decades ago, —— or —- plow the business under literally. Close the doors so to speak. Some even dared to suggest to keep the business but change the name. There was no choice with what I was about to embark on. I knew what needed to be done. Only for me, I had no business experience nor plan.

2020—— I became the heart of Hartle-Gilman Gardens… a small company that was driven by organic popularity. Thinking back today, I remember looking up Hartle-Gilman Gardens and finding page after paged documentation of articles, correspondents and traveling adventures in local society newsletter, and greater publications for national societies.

2024 vision—-, Hartle-Gilman Gardens will always be a mail order company, always a workable city farm and shall continue with the development of making new signature designer hybrids. Breeding and Specializing in Division ll Martagon Lilies.

The loveliness of Hartle-Gilman Gardens taught me best practices of pollinating lilies by a method of using my own hands and fingers, (basic assisted fertilization ) figuring out what parent traits I would want to achieve and carry forth in new seedlings ( babies) and crossing and backcrossing male pollen onto the sticky moist female sigmas, then waiting for the moment of birth, the unfolding of the bloom, 5-7 years of the anticipated arrival. The commitment of not only dedication and devotion, but also, the days and weeks that were filled with more trials, and tribulations then you can even imagine in one’s lifetime. We grew together. Literally.

We became dependent upon one another. Then, one season it happens and the children within the field were now in full bloom.

What is lovely though was looking back and recognizing all the opportunities that seem to appear, making Hartle-Gilman Gardens beautiful with One ‘Rose,’ and her backyard field of Lilies. Opportunities of meeting anthophiles with learned and shared experiences. To date, all of the seasons were met with growth, that came with larger doses of encouragement and support. Motivation and inspiration, with affirmation of what was, is and what will be were many of the discussions that were shared over long hours into the wee hours of countless nights.

Right now, I have been working, witnessing, and experimenting with an abundant of test plots in my city field. Ensuring what is grown and sold are deemed virus-free. Healthy bulbs that have had a life well lived within my controlled, monitored, and researched gardens. I have had numerous visits and will have continued visits from the State of Minnesota Department of Agriculture, assisting me with detailed up-to-date data on best practices. (per my request) This loveliness comes with a price financially, and a lot of hard work and determination. Working side by side with the Agricultural Department is not mandatory, though one would hope that grower takes all precautions with best practices and making sure that other suppliers are at the standards that are demonstrated safe for your own home gardens, and in my case here at Hartle-Gilman Gardens. My ‘back-forty’ is inspected twice a day. Hours of observations. Keeping aware of all potential discoveries and staying in tune to all of good and bad activities that could be the start of a catastrophe or better yet, marvels.

I believe that what Hartle-Gilman Gardens becomes, will/does matter, and this belief drives me to be excellent in the most exciting ways. I have had numerous opportunities of glorious spins of traveling and meeting people that have tons of stories and photos to share of Hartle-Gilman’s very own ‘Fidus Achates’. The devoted followers of so long ago mingled with the innovation of the new birth of something happening here in my own back yard I believe has inspired others.

The serendipitous of visitors, (joggers, the man with a parrot, the artist and her students, a family’s taking evening strolls, skateboarders, cars that pause to get a closer look- only to get honked at, the sole man, woman, children looking for butterflies) as they watch the gardens bloom from day to day. Let’s not forget the science classes coming by to look for insects to take back to study in their labs.

Loveliness becomes the perfect height for gazers to view the private displays from the public sidewalks. Viewing from eye level. The public have up close and personal observations for botanical study, macro photography captions, or setting up an easel for a watercolor impression.

Hartle-Gilman Gardens has taught me that the fairest of all is in the eye of the beholder,

For I behold the spirit, nature and above all the promise of a seed and the vision of the bloom. Not in a singular flower but the entire orchestra of melodies that co-habitat within the axis of 44.954445, -93.091301. Specializing in Martagons registered and unregistered…. species and Hartle-Gilman’s old historics that are listed above

With so many opportunities that just keep emerging, I believe that there was a reason for everything and how it literally ‘all panned out.’

Several have asked me how it all started? Maybe this is the story of the beginning, trusting your gut, heart, and mind, I went in blindfold, believing in myself for the first time with three deceased founders. Hence, the ‘heavenly hybridizers’ that couldn’t talk back to me. Setting my course of “flying by the seat of my plants”, feeling the motion and reacting to Hartle-Gilman respond to my movement. Watching the operations set its course. That day was the day that my purpose was set in motion and actions became loud and clear. somehow, I believe that I came out winning the lottery. So today I cheer with a bit of champagne as the snowflakes blow in the wild winds.

Making our world beautiful with one Rose, and her backyard field of Lilies here at Hartle-Gilman Gardens…… So, cheers and Happy Anniversary HGG…. With many many more

Respectfully and most Sincerely, Rose Stone

Get out and feel the medicine of the season, —- the leaf’s, roots, seeds, fungi, flowers, insects, soil, and the melody of birdsongs.
